I bought this broken chain at a yard sale for $1 and the gold ribbon and jump rings I had on hand. Created your flower from ribbon and if you are not sure how, go here.

Next take your chain and make sure it fits over your head.

I sewed the jump rings to the back of the flower.

Finally, attach the chain and you have yourself a new and one of kind necklace.

If you need a last minute gift or not sure what to give someone, give this a try and don't forget send me a picture. What is nice about this up-cycled necklace is I can interchange the look by adding a red flower for Valentine Day or Christmas or a brooch. The possibilities are endless. Thank you so much for stopping by and I LOVE your comments so drop me a line.

I saw your necklace on Uncommon Designs. It is lovely. This is one of the few things I like that I have seen with "spiral roses" or "rosettes" as we call them in the paper crafting world.I am no. 94. Please visit?http://www.kristaspapercafe.com/christmas-ornaments/
